Materialise was holding a 'get the most out of our software' event, whilst giving users the chance to leiase and get an idea of whats going on in the world 3D printing.
Rocking up to the International Digital Lab (IDL), it was one of several new, purpose built and massive buildings located on this massive campus.
After the days activities, I had arranged or a tour around the workshop on campus.
It turns out there were 4 workshops and they were in the process of building their 5th!
The engineering workshop I had the chance to look around. along each edge were offices and workrooms for staff and students. The center strip (left of the above image) is the machine room - quite a lot of floor space indeed!
This image shows only one quadrant of the available workspace and kit on offer there.
This beast of a machine is only two weeks old - and cost a whopping £250,000! As you can probibly see, there is a nice space there with a football table and coffee machine - I think we got one installed in our workshop!
An Industrial robot - this one was used primarily for welding of aluminium
One of five CNC Milling Centers
Still a range of manual machines, tucked away in a side room.
This technician demonstrates a six kilowat laser, that was retrofited onto another robot arm. The laser is specifically for 3D printing in tianium.
Another view of the multi axis CNC Mill.
Another shot of their workshop, this time the back - purly to illustrate the scale of the place!
